Chapter 58 by BlueKnight

So, your wound is almost healed. Probably tomorrow you will be able to "walk" around the city...

You and Elijah seek out where Dylan is hiding.

The next day, you woke up and found that you can at least walked now thanked to proper care provided by Brittany.

After you had breakfast, you changed your own clothes for the first time in a few weeks and go to see Elijah. After checking around, closing the curtains and locking the doors and windows, you finally tell him.

But as soon as the curtains are closed, Dr. Grice-Hutchinson knows it through the eyes of the camouflaged drones what are you really up to.

"I knew it. You let your instincts as a father clouded your judgement." Dylan said after he saw it through the eyes on the drones that you closed the curtains to have private conversation with the ghoul.

"Everything has been prepared as you ordered, sir. As soon as they stepped inside, they will have nowhere to escape." One of the humanoid robots reported to him.

"Excellent..." Dylan said without turning to look at the humanoid robot.

Back at the new home of the Williams family, you are having a private conversation with Elijah in his room about your thought on Dylan's view and what do you intended to do about it. And not to your surprise, Elijah wanted to go with you. At the very least, he wanted to see his wife and his daughter once again. But will they still accepted him or not if they got thawed out is another matter entirely. After all, he looked quite different from what he used to be and he also did a lot of things that he is not proud of in order to keep himself alive in this new world.

"So you decided to go against him?" Elijah asked you after you told him your thought.

"Yes. And while he did point out the good reason why the new status quo should be maintained, he also did not take the possibility that what happened to the dinosaurs could happened to us as well." You said as you're sitting on a chair and looking at the ghoul near you.

"Then that's settled it! Let's go find him!" Elijah said as he's getting up from his chair.

And so, you and Elijah secretly go downstairs to make sure no ones will noticed them with some weapons just in case. On the way there, you and Elijah walk passed the room of the young coachman that came with the Williams family and you could swear that you heard a moaning woman's voice with passion and lust that clearly does not belonged to his mother in there since the voice sounded a lot younger and quite similar to that of the brunette maid with ample breasts you encountered at the Sullivan family's manor.

However, you do not dwell in it for long and go to find the nearest way out with Elijah as silently as and fast as possible. But sadly, someone did notice you and the ghoul leaving and that someone was Miss Blue!

Ignoring the passionate sounds of a man and a woman joining together in the young coachman's room, the young Native American woman secretly followed you and Elijah downstairs silently.

"So what now? Where do we go from here?" You asked Elijah as you have no idea where to go from here now that you made it out of the Williams family's new home with him.

"Follow one of the drones, of course." Elijah said as he's looking up. Then, he hears the familiar sounds of engines originated from the drone and follow it, prompting you to follow him in return.

And unbeknownst to you and the ghoul, Rain is secretly following you two out of concerns.

Running through many streets and even crowds after the drone, you and Elijah are being led throughout many areas in the city by the camouflaged flying drone with the young Native American woman is still secretly following you and your friend without you and Elijah knowing.

Eventually, both of you actually made it to an abandoned wooden building that located between an inn and a saloon somewhere in the city. Upon hearing that the drone went through one of the broken windows, you and Elijah walked inside with weapons ready just in case.

After seeing that there is nothing here, you and Elijah decided to check the basement once the door leading down there is located. Once inside, you and Elijah are shocked at the sights that neither you or him will ever thought of ever getting to see again in this new world! The bunker filled with highly advanced techs from the ancient times when the United States was a thing!

Descending from the basement along a long staircase into the darkness...

The huge door to the bunker was already open - as if you were both "invited" to enter.

Then, the path along long underground corridors...

The dim light of fluorescent lamps...

Many rooms whose walls, floors and ceilings are covered with a metal-plastic material, which is clearly evidence of the use of ancient pre-war technologies.

Decided not to split up, you and the ghoul checked each room one by one together.

In many rooms you saw devastation and pitiful remains of bodies: skeletons, skulls, decayed clothes and rusty weapons. It seems that the human personnel of this bunker died in some ancient tragic event.

And after checking for quite a while, you and Elijah found the room you and him are looking for! The room where the stasis pods are being kept!

Remembered the code, you pressed the right numbers and is allowed to enter into the room with the ghoul. And once you and him entered, both you and Elijah are taken away by the sights! There are 220 operational stasis pods inside of this room!

No longer wanted to wait, Elijah runs out and begin to search for the ones that contained his wife and his daughter respectively while you simply walked around and inspect some of the pods.

PHEW!

"Ah!" You screamed after you got electrocuted in the back and knocked out cold.

"Huh?! What the-" Elijah said but then, his face get splashed with a ball of glowing blue electricity!

After you and Elijah have been knocked out cold, a group of humanoid robots come out of the shadows and they are armed with taser-like guns. Then, Dr. Grice-Hutchinson himself entered the room and come to take a look at both you and Elijah respectively.

"Sorry for the way we welcomed you, old friend. But it is the only way." Dylan said as he's looking down at you before take a look at Elijah, who is located somewhat further away.

"Now, prepare two more pods! And once they are ready, put them in there!" Dylan said as he's turning around and leave.

"And how long should they be kept in there?" One of the humanoid robots asked his master back. And then, Dylan stopped walking and simply turn his head to look back at the androids for a moment.

"... for eternity..." Dylan said before leaving the room for elsewhere in this bunker.

Soon, two more pods are prepared and you and Elijah are placed inside each of them. Once you and him are placed inside, the robots simply closed the pods and set the temperatures of both pods to below zeroes. By doing so, you and Elijah will be imprisoned in there for who knows how long.

Is this journey of yours about to end right at where it started in a way?

Not if Rain Blue has something to say about it...
